It's a general rule that the book is always better then the adaptation. While I feel this will probably hold true for this, the film still has great potential.

The book, while narratively brilliant IMO, was also very visual by nature. The film HAS the opportunity to make a visual masterpiece along with using the books great narrative. Thats two fantastic qualities that this dark and bleak film should have.

John Hillcoat's The Proposition was both a visual and narrative masterpiece, and probably the closest western to channel Blood Meridian in tone (Another McCarthy novel) He has the skill to do The Road justice. So personally, I can't wait to see what he's done here.

Movie looks great but that trailer is terrible. Worst music choice ever. Its like they wanted to attract middle aged people who like Forrest Gump so they prettied up a reasonably depressing film.
